Project mention: Ask HN: How do you "replay" a costly user mistake in your internal software? | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-07-09
With Ruby on Rails one can use https://github.com/paper-trail-gem/paper_trail which will keep a record of every database change. Similarly one could record every database query on the database server.
Looking at clicks sounds like recording the screen of the user. Too many privacy issues IMHO even for an internal tool.

ActsAsTaggableOn
A tagging plugin for Rails applications that allows for custom tagging along dynamic contexts.
I think what parent said is referring to stuff like
https://github.com/mbleigh/acts-as-taggable-on
It's not only that RoR comes with a complete toolset -- it allows you to create your own libraries that extend the capabilities of the framework while keeping the developer experience terse enough through metaprogramming (compare the sample code in the README with the file acts-as-taggable-on/lib/acts-as-taggable-on/taggable.rb, where you can see how the library is opening the classes in runtime through the class_eval technique.
Not sure how something similar can be achieved in C#

Project mention: Introduction to Gem narabikae: A New Position Management Algorithm Inspired by Figma’s Fractional Indexing | dev.to | 2024-10-06
In a project I participated in, we originally used the acts_as_list gem to manage the position of items with incremental integers. Every time the position of items was changed, the client would send all the reordered data to the server, which then recalculated the positions.
